Installing Python 2
Here is how you can get setup with python 2.7 in Windows:
To make an IDLE icon on the desktop go to Start, All Programs, Python 2.7, RIGHT-click on "IDLE (Python GUI)" then click "Send To", "Desktop (Create Shortcut)". The icon links to: C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\IDLE.BAT
- Install python 2.7 from python.org (choose 32-bit installer for best compatibility)--must be done before installing libraries such as Pygame, wxPython, or Panda3D
